outward from the core extending to the rear exterior wall in the form of a trough which
enables the subsequent connection of plumbing drain pipes, water lines and electrical
conduit following erection of the structure. A complex of similar dwelling units can be
established by placing a plurality of the structures side-by-side, in a linear configuration,
thus forming a row of townhouses or offices.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the monolithic slab 2 for a structure of two or
more stories having a prefabricated core comprised of a plurality of modules the lower
module 1 of which has been set in place in a preformed slab depression 3. Figure 2 is a
perspective view of the middle core module 4 directly above the lower core module and
panelized hallway wall element 5 set in place at the second floor level opposite the
middle core module 4 thus completing the rectangular proportion and making the planar
floor perimeter identical in form to that of the lower core module 1. Figure 3 is a
perspective view of the placement of the upper core module 6 upon the stacked lower
and middle core modules. The central roof 7 of the subject structure is formed by the
top of upper core module 6. Preassembled stair component 8 is then set in place upon
concrete slab 2 and attached to the lower core module 1, thus completing the staircase
9.
